some isp's offer filtering at their end, although it's not perfect it will block most things. there are also several commercial programs that will do it for you, in fact most porn sites mention this, many including the names of the packages and even links, netnanny is one although i don't know if it's mac compatible. the other and best strategy is simply to supervise kids using the computer or hope that you've raised them "properly", after all, they'll be out alone in the world some day. from my experiences in college, the kids that get in the most trouble and drink the most are usually the kids who were raised strictly and now have no parent controlling them and haven't learned any self control, YMMV.
